Tedorigawa Sake
Brand photographs, 2025

Created as a photography collaboration between Erik Shirai and Sybilla Patrizia.

Crafted over centuries along the banks of the Tedorigawa River and beneath the shadow of Mount Hakusan, Tedorigawa Sake carries with it the quiet strength of nature and time. Captured on 35mm and medium format film, we set out to tell a story—one of people, nature, and time—revealing how Japan’s most celebrated beverage continues to take shape in the care of a new generation of artisans.
